Thank you
Just a quick message to say a big thank you to everyone for their help and replies with my bfing problems recently.
I've come to the decision tonight to switch to formula, after feeding Lucy from both breasts and then her guzzling down 6oz straight after it's obvious she's not getting enough from me. It's really been getting me down so i'm already feeling like a weight's been lifted off my shoulders. I don't want to struggle on getting more and more upset by seeing her so hungry and upset. We've made it to 3 and a half months and i'm so proud of myself for getting this far, i was ready to give up when my milk came in, but continued thanks to the fab support of my wonderful hubby.
Thanks again (Big big thanks to Amy xxx)

It's so hard sometimes isn't it. Just to know what they're getting. We've been struggling for a while now to be honest, with tugging and her weight etc. I do feel like i've made the right decision, especially since i have only breastfed her at 7am today and i've had no feelings whatsoever from my boobs all day. Nothing to show that we've missed 2 feeds! But most importantly she has been like a different baby today, so much happier.
Good luck with the feeding, hope her growth spurt is over soon x
